Hacksaw

Submitted by persona on Fri, 10/24/2003 - 1:22pm. Tragic

"i'll just take a hacksaw to it, and then we can stuff those back down there and reattatch it"

They were talking about the metal conduit that was holding the electrical wires to the outlet they were trying to move. And they hadn't shut any power off.
Thats what i call natural selection...

apparently the hacksaw took too much work, so they just mounted the TV up at the verry top of the wall above where the outlet was... and it has to be at an angle so it would fit. I'm just glad no one sits under it, esp since the mounting frame was missing two screws, apparently the holes where they were supposed to go were at one of the studs and it was taking too long to screw it into the stud so they figured it would be fine as long as all the other ones were done. This is one of those giant flat screen tvs... nice and heavy.

Does your company make? I think I want to avoid them, if that's the quality assurance people with that attitude.

when i was little my mom refused to take me with her to the laundromat because of my affinity of finding one of the unused outlets and sticking pennies and paperclips in them... gotta love the giant outlets for washers and dryers :)

My mom walked into the living room one time when my brother was just a wee lad and found him with a key stuck into one of the outlets on a power surge thingy. By divine intervention, it was the *one* outlet on there that wasn't working.
We had those plastic cover thingies on ALL outlets for the better part of about 10 years because of that.
